How to Boost Up Your Computer Performence

We have all experienced. You know that PC must be spinning but is not. You add more memory, but it is still barely breathe. Fortunately, it is fairly easy to solve these machines in trouble. Here are five steps you can take to help your machine run much faster.
Defragment
It should go without saying. However, I am always surprised how few people do this regularly - or how IT administrators neglect to set up machines regularly. Whatever the Windows operating system desktop you use, be sure to defragment or the machine to automatically defrag manually. When machines become too fragmented, they suffer from severe performance degradation. Usually, the built-in Windows defrag tool works very well. If you are looking for something a little better, try Defraggler. It can operate on an entire disk or only a part.
Clean up the all disk
Have you ever completed a record 100%? If the disc contains both your operating system and your data files, your machine will come to a screeching halt. One of the first things I check on a machine running slowly is how much hard disk was used. If there is no more or less 10% of the available disk space, it's time to clean. One tool I like is CCleaner. He quickly deletes all temporary files for you. Once done, it is time to attack the obvious places: Trash, Pictures, Music, Videos. Once you have deleted them, you can delete old restore points and shadow copies (from the System Restore) and installed programs from your download directory. If this is not enough space disappears, it's time to start removing unused applications.
Clean up computer registry
I saw many machines simply bogged down because of errors in the registry. Of course, the registry is not something any old user (or administrator) must attack. Instead, you want to use an application whose purpose is to clean the registry. One of my favorite tools for this task is, again, CCleaner. When you run CCleaner, make sure you backup your registry (it will ask you to do so). Then run a few times. The first time, it will not catch all errors. It usually takes about three times until all errors are eliminated. Once you have removed these errors, you may want to restart the computer to ensure that the process is complete (and the machine is back to speed).
 Remove spyware
It still shocks me. If you use a Windows operating system, you have a better anti-malware on board or your machine is sure to get stuck in the muck and mire of spyware. I tend to lean towards Malwarebytes for it. But do not just use the free version. It is good, but it does not include any kind of planner. And we know end users are horrible about running applications maintenance. For this, you'll want to spend the coin to ensure that your anti-spyware is up to date and running on schedule.
Check the disk for errors
With a machine that is aging or whose hard drive has seen excessive use, sectors of the disk can end badly. To remedy this, you will need to execute a command and reboot your machine. The command I usually use is chkdsk X: / f / r (where X is the drive letter you want to check). F switch tells the command to automatically fix errors and r switch locates bad sectors and recovers readable information.
